According to Eian's mom, having Down syndrome made Eian more susceptible to this type of cancer. He's been in the hospital for the better part of five months.

"We've met a lot of special friends and Eian has just been a joy to everybody, I think he was put here to bring other people joy," said Laura Renee Wright, Eian's mom.

From his very first chemotherapy treatment, Eian made two new friends. LMPD Officers Sean Blakley and Michael Jackson come to Norton Children's Hospital every Wednesday through the Shield of Faith program.

"Just to see the smile on the children's faces, words can't express it," said Jackson.

"An honor for me to be able to come up here because you do leave with a smile on your face and it's great to know you can donate a couple hours of your time and the smile that it brings on the children's face, such as Eian, always happy," said Blakley.

Eian's family has been getting help from Kids Cancer Alliance. You can read more about their story here.
